When I was a boy of twelve , I lived in South Carolina with my family . Every evening many birds would come and rest in the trees and sing . There wasn't any sound that can be more beautiful than the dongs of the birds . I decided to cath a young bird and keep it in a cage so that I could have many own musician . I finally caught one and put it in a cage . The bird was frightened and cried loudly , but finally it became quiet in its new home . I felt happy and cared for my little musician carefully .
The next day , the bird's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth . The bady bird ate up everything she brought . But the following morning , I found it lying on the bottom of the cage , dead . I was very surpised ! What had happened !
Arthur Wayne , a famous scientist , happened to hear me crying over the death of my bird , he told me the truth . " A mother bird sometimes will bring in a cage . She things it better for her young child to die than to live in a cage . "
Since then , I never catch any birds or put them in a cage . All the birds have the right to fly in the sky .
